Passive heating and cooling building with conveyance waste eliminated

ABSTRACT

One embodiment of a southward facing trapezoidal shaped passive solar heat gaining building with basement walls used for heating the building on cold days, and cooling the building on hot days. The specially colored blinds FIG.  4,  and shade  24  are features to aid the building in using nearly no energy for lighting, heating, and cooling. Upside down U shaped basement wall  40  and  42  are a unique feature that prevent leaks. 
     This building, when elongated outward in the form of a large store, has parking along its perimeter allowing for time saved in people walking to and from cars, and saves conveyance waste in the form of a large manufacturing plant being able to have trucks deliver parts very close to the place where the parts are needed. Incidentally, because the building may be long and narrow and not square, it is safer if it catches fire because people can exit drastically quicker, and fire trucks can park near the fire and reach it quicker to put it out quicker. Other embodiments are shown inside, such as a multi-story building.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to architecture and heating and coolingtechnologies of buildings.

2. Prior Art

Square or rectangular buildings are prior art, and to this inventor'sknowledge, none of those type of buildings have ever been patented.Large stores, schools and manufacturing plants are almost always squareor rectangular in shape and face the wrong direction which makes wintersolar passive heat gain very limited, and summer energy bills veryexpensive. There is no prior art of this trapizoidal type of building.The way buildings are presently built, particularly large buildings,there are no efforts remotely close to maximizing passive solar heatgain, but rather most consideration is focused on maximizing squarenessof a building. Also buildings are not built in consideration forminimizing distance people walk to and from cars. Also buildings are notbuilt considering minimizing distance a good is required to travelwithin a building from the shipping door. In a manufacturing plant, itis waste to have a forklift carry a good 1 mile with many differentstopping and stacking points before it has value added to it. Thismethod of pointlessly carrying around objects is flawed because thebuilding is built wrong in the first place. Another negative aspect ofpresent day and prior art buildings is that they frequently face theroad they're on, which frequently results in a south side of a buildingthat's windowless and if it has windows, it is skewed, making winterpassive solar heat gain limited and summer overheating costly.

SUMMARY

In accordance with the present invention, A trapezoid thin shapedbuilding facing south.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION—FIGS. 1 TO 5—PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

FIG. 1, the preferred embodiment of the building. Southside window 16,west side wall 18, north side wall 20, east side wall 22, Window Shade24 and 26, roof 28 and green plants 30. FIG. 2 is the preferredembodiment in any large building design. Tunnel 48 shows how to go fromone part of the building to the other. FIG. 3 is the side of thebuilding showing upsidedown U shaped basement walls 40 and 42, wintersun 34, for passive solar heat gain is shown as 38, and summer sun 32 isreflecting 36. Passive cooling exists on the basement walls 44 and 46.Stones 41 are draining any water that does penetrate the outside sectionof the upside down U. FIG. 4 is the double colored window blind.Reflective color 50 and Dark color 52. Insulation material 54 is alsoshown. These type blinds are put on all the windows in the building.FIG. 5 is an alternative embodiment in the form of a 2 story house, or atall building.

1. A trapezoid shaped structure facing any angle ranging from southwestto southeast containing southern outside perimeter walls that are longerand taller than outside perimeter northern outside walls; said southernoutside perimeter walls slightly to significantly longer than east andwest side walls; said structure to be a single story building with agenerous portion of the single story being a basement underground; saidstructure containing window blinds that are a dark color on one side ofthe blind and a light color on another side of the blind; said structureto have sufficient doors and parking spaces surrounding the perimeter ofthe building.
 2. A hybrid system of heating a building using ground heatfrom basement walls combined with passive solar heat gain and smaller,less expensive traditional means of heating a building.
 3. A hybridsystem of cooling a building in claim 1 using coolness from saidbasement walls combined with a traditional air conditioning system.
 4. Aheating system in claim 2 where any indoor objects are dark in color inindoor areas where winter sun shines.
 5. A structure in claim 1 wherethe roof is covered with a light, reflective surface, includingflowering, white or green plants.
 6. Structure in claim one containing agently concave curving shape on the southern outside perimeter wall;said shape running east to west.
 7. A structure in claim 1 where theentire perimeter of the building contains an awning extending from theroof to a prudent distance and angle away from the roof that shades adecent portion of the inside of the building in late spring, summer, andearly fall.
 8. An awning in claim 8 that is comprised of one to asubstantial number of scrolling dowels that scroll-out and scroll-in afabric in several triangular sections; said triangular fabric sectionsacting as a light blocking device, and in a plurality, combining to formsaid awning.
 9. Said awning in claim 8 to be scrolled-in for oneoperating condition of this invention, such as a period of cold sunnyweather, or warm temperatures with over 50 mph winds; said conditionallows for sunlight to light and heat the building, and preserves theawning.
 10. Said awning in claim 8 to be scrolled out, so it shades thebuilding for another operating condition of this invention such asduring the summer, or any warm or hot days with low winds.
 11. Saidoperating condition in claim 11 shades windows and allows said indoordouble colored blinds in claim 1 to mostly be retracted, allowing forplentiful indirect light to enter the building without overheating thebuilding.
 12. Said awning in claim 8 to have features of automatic motorcontrolled scrolling-in and scrolling-out according to weather, and acomputer software to command the motors what to do.
 13. Said awning inclaim 8 to have a manual method of controlling the motors that scrollthe awnings, to override the automatic computer system in claim 13; saidmethod of scrolling-in and scrolling-out based according to anindividual's needs within the building.
 14. Said awning in claim 8 tohave a hand crank method of scrolling-in and scrolling-out the awnings.15. Said blinds in claim 1 to have the ability to be manually opened andclosed and automatically controlled by computer and motors.
 16. Saidbasement walls in claim 1 to be an n shape barrier; said inside layercomprised of concrete or concrete blocks with basement sealer on it;said outside layer comprised of asphalt.
 17. Said n shaped barrier inclaim 17 to have gravel in between concrete section and asphalt section18. Said n shaped barrier in claim 17 to have a top section made ofpoured concrete, said top section adjoining the asphalt and concretewall sections.
 19. A bed within any kind of building in this patent witha parallelogram matching the angles of the building, to not waste space.
